I read that too, but couldn't find anything to back it up.
Looking online, this graph (from page 20 of this 1999 Parliamentary document) seems to disagree with that statement.

Hmmm. I suppose the average from 1979 to 1990 might be higher than the years immediately before and after this period, even allowing for the 1984/85 data.
Good find.

Don't worry about that! After all inflation's coming down.....
Perhaps you should get onto HMRC and see if you're entitled to any allowances on your parents home...

Oh dear sorry to hear that.
Well what about siblings then. Apparently they too can be useful when claiming allowances to supplement income....

My sister's an OAP so has her own problems claiming for her heating allowance..
Sorry there is no way I can claim anything..  Anyway I can't see why I should.There are millions of us who can't.Just have to keep paying and grumbling about it.

I know where you're coming from Maggy, i'm exactly the same. To top it off, my electricity went up just before xmas and is stuck at the higher rate for another 12 months (while others have reduced  ).

But it's still inflation, which means things still go up.
